Over 60 social and behavioral science researchers, students, and advocates from 18 different states headed to Capitol Hill to meet with more than 60 offices in the House of Representatives and Senate, all carrying a message about the need to prioritize funding for social and behavioral science research. [...] Now is the time to write to your Members of Congress to urge their support for research funding in FY 2025! COSSA has created a menu of resources for you to use in your outreach to lawmakers. [...] Visit our ACTION CENTER page to send a letter to your Senators and Representative and tell them why it is critical that they prioritize funding in FY 2025 for the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Institute of Education Sciences, National Institute of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics, International Education and Foreign Language Programs, and the federal statistical. [...] As OSTP works to meet the congressional demand for a financial analysis, the discussion on the open access policy highlights ongoing considerations about the future of academic publishing, fair knowledge distribution, and maintaining a balance between accessibility and research integrity in the sharing of federally funded research. [...] The letter reaffirms SBE’s commitment to support research in the social and behavioral sciences to “build on and enhance the human, social, cultural, institutional, educational, technological, geographic, demographic, and economic assets of EPSCoR jurisdictions.” Any questions about the Dear Colleague Letter or submitting proposals from an EPSCoR jurisdiction should be directed to: nsfsbe-epscorin.
